This Is a Huge Trouble

In the thatched house.

The furnishings were simple, with a bed, a table, two bamboo stools, and some pots and pans.

There are two more people.

One is an old man with a pale complexion, and the other is a young man with a very strong physique.

When Xia Tian came in, there was a look of surprise on his face.

Ning Ruirui looked normal.

However, she was a little curious that there were things in the world that surprised Xia Tian.

"Do you know this old man?" Ning Ruirui asked softly.

Xia Tian answered directly: "I don't know him, but I know him."

Ning Ruirui followed Xia Tian's gaze and looked at the young man. She saw that he was tall, probably at least two meters tall, with bronze skin, and looked quite impactful.

"Master." The burly man did not hesitate when he saw Xia Tian, ​​and walked straight forward and bowed to greet him.

This person is Xia Tian’s recently recruited younger brother, whose name is Tie Jin Gang and nickname is Xiao Huang.

"Don't call me master, call me big brother." Xia Tian glanced at him and corrected him casually.

Tie Jin Gang nodded: "Big brother."

"Xiao Huang, why are you here?" Xia Tian asked.

"This is my home, and he is my grandfather." Tie Jin Gang replied in a muffled voice, "A few years ago, I went down the mountain and got lost, and then I was captured by the Bai family, and I have never been able to return to the mountain."

The white-haired old man chuckled and said, "Thank you for saving my grandson. I would like to thank you very much."

"Old man, that's very unkind of you." Xia Tian curled his lips and said unhappily, "I saved your grandson, and you're still plotting against me?"

"My benefactor, you are joking." The white-haired old man waved his hand and said with a smile, "I have not had enough time to repay my gratitude, so how could I plot against you. If it weren't for me leading the way, how could this young lady find this place?"

Ning Ruirui nodded: "Yes, he led me here."

Having said that, Ning Ruirui did not assume that the old man had good intentions.

It is also possible that he deliberately lured her here and then had a fight with the woman in the straw raincoat.

"That doesn't mean anything." Xia Tian knew what Ning Ruirui meant, but he was still unhappy: "Old man, just tell me what you want to do. It's best not to play tricks. Otherwise, even if you are Xiao Huang's grandfather, I will still beat you up."

The white-haired old man smiled faintly: "How can a young man be so irritable? This is not good. I am several dozen years older than you anyway. You should be more polite."

"Stop beating around the bush. I'll let you know what temper is." Xia Tian never tolerates other people's bad habits, especially those who like to act like seniors in front of him.

"Grandpa, you'd better tell big brother everything clearly." Tie Jin Gang was caught in the middle and felt a little uncomfortable, so he had to persuade the white-haired old man.

The white-haired old man looked at Tie Jin Gang's expression and felt even more helpless. He couldn't help but sigh deeply: "Okay, then, benefactor, whatever you want to know, I will definitely tell you everything I know."

"You were the one who killed the woman outside just now, right?" Ning Ruirui asked first.

"Yes and no." The white-haired old man's answer was ambiguous.

Xia Tian clenched his fists when he heard this: "Forget it, I don't want to listen anymore, I'll beat you up first."

“Hey, hey, hey, young man, don’t be so impatient.” Seeing this, the white-haired old man waved his hands repeatedly: “Listen to what I have to say, put down your fists first, and sit down and talk.”

Then he turned to Tie Jin Gang and said, "A Cha, why don't you boil some water and make tea for the benefactor and this lady?"

"That's not necessary." Ning Ruirui said casually: "You should just answer my question."

Xia Tian also curled his lips: "Don't waste time, my patience is limited, old man, what do you want to do?"

"Haha, Xia Tian, ​​do you know who I am?" The white-haired old man chuckled twice and asked instead of answering.

Xia Tian said with disdain: "You don't want to say that you are from the demon clan or the fairy clan or something like that, I'm tired of hearing that."

"The woman just now also said that she was from the Black Narcissus Clan." Ning Ruirui added lightly, "She is dead now."

"That's not the case." The white-haired old man shook his head. "I am just a normal human being, but because of the special cultivation method I practice, my body shape is a little different. For example, Ah Cha's body became so huge because of this cultivation method. We live in seclusion here because we want to protect something."

Ning Ruirui couldn't help but ask: "What are you guarding?"

"Bait." The white-haired old man said lightly.

Ning Ruirui was stunned when she heard this, and she had a lot of questions in her mind: "Fish, bait? What does this mean?"

"That's it." The white-haired old man suddenly took out something from his arms and slowly spread out his palm.

I saw a crystal core appear in his palm, as big as a grain of rice, and light particles were emitting from the center.

"Isn't this a fragment of the Earth's will?" Ning Ruirui looked at this thing and this word immediately emerged in her mind.

After joining the WeChat group, the girls in summer chat almost every day. In addition to chatting, they also talk about each other's adventures and experiences.

For example, they already know about the fragments of the Earth's will.

I even heard Su Beibei mention that before the summer on Carnival Island, he gave a piece of the Earth's will fragment to the Lord of Tiangong.

Xia Tian looked at this thing and felt that something was wrong: "This is not a fragment of the Earth's will. Where did you get it from?"

"Of course not." The white-haired old man chuckled and said casually, "This is called a planet crystal core, or a fragment of the Heavenly Dao. There are other names for it in the Immortal Cultivation Alliance, but I don't know about that."

"Are you from the Immortal Cultivation Alliance?" Xia Tian fixed his eyes and said coldly.

"No." The white-haired old man shook his head, and then explained: "Our clan is just entrusted by others to look after such things."

Ning Ruirui couldn't help asking, "Where did the fragment in your hand come from? What does it have to do with the Immortal Cultivation Alliance? What do you mean by bait? Is it related to this thing? And..."

A series of questions came like a string of cannonballs, leaving the white-haired old man dazed.

"Miss Ning, don't be anxious. We have plenty of time. Let's chat slowly." The white-haired old man suddenly put the fragment away and looked at Xia Tian with a smile: "I want to ask you to do something for me. If you do it, I will give you this fragment. It is a great thing."

Xia Tian curled his lips and said, "I'm not interested in this kind of fragments. You've got the wrong person."

"No, I'm not wrong." The white-haired old man said firmly, "I have been looking for a long time on this planet, for many years, and I have looked for many people... but no one can satisfy me, and you are the only one who makes me feel that there is a possibility of success."

"Old man, there's something wrong with your ears, right?" Xia Tian said nonchalantly, "I told you, I'm not interested."

The white-haired old man laughed, as if he had expected this: "Do you know what world this fragment is from?"

"I don't know, and I don't want to know." Xia Tian was never too lazy to follow other people's thoughts, unless the other person was his woman, or a peerless beauty.

"What if I say that this fragment comes from the Immortal Cultivation Alliance?" The white-haired old man was not in a hurry, with a confident look on his face, "As long as you get it, you may be able to analyze some information about the Immortal Cultivation Alliance from it, and even sense the horror in the endless deep space in advance."

Xia Tian was indeed interested after hearing this, and then asked, "Are you sure you can get some information about the Immortal Cultivation Alliance through this thing?"

"Of course, this is a planetary crystal core. Although it is just a fragment, it also condenses the essence of the other world." The white-haired old man nodded, his expression extremely confident: "This thing was passed down from our ancestors, there is absolutely no mistake. As for how much information you can get, it depends on your own luck."

Xia Tian said lazily: "Okay, give me the things."

"Don't you want to ask me what I need your help with?" The white-haired old man hesitated when he saw Xia Tian agreed so readily.

Xia Tian showed a nonchalant expression on his face: "No matter what it is, just tell me and I'll do it for you, and then we'll be even, it's that simple."

“That’s true.” The white-haired old man was stunned for a moment, then he laughed: “Hahaha, you are really open-minded. In that case, I will tell you a secret. After listening to it, you can decide whether to accept it or not.”

Xia Tian said: "If you have to fart, do it now!"

"You... forget it." The white-haired old man didn't expect Xia Tian to be so disrespectful to him, but he didn't bother to care. "I just said that although this thing is very useful, it is also a bait secretly sent by some people in the Immortal Cultivation Alliance to the heavens and the worlds."

Ning Ruirui asked: "How do you say this?"

“On any planet with this thing, the spiritual energy will be taken away by it. No matter what opportunities there are, the upper limit of the immortal cultivators will be firmly suppressed.” The white-haired old man said slowly with a heavy tone: “Once a peerless genius who can break through the realm appears, the Immortal Cultivation Alliance will send people over to directly destroy all the immortal cultivators on this planet.”

Ning Ruirui couldn't help but feel a little angry: "Isn't this too overbearing? Someone has broken through, this should be a good thing, shouldn't we recruit them?"

"I'm not sure about that." The white-haired old man shook his head. "All I know is that several worlds were destroyed, and Earth was suppressed for hundreds of thousands of years. It wasn't until the arrival of Fairy Fuyao ten thousand years ago that these baits were suppressed, and Earth gradually showed signs of spiritual energy revival."

Xia Tian said impatiently: "Old man, stop talking nonsense and get to the point."

"Okay." The white-haired old man smiled bitterly, and then said: "This fragment comes from the [Moruo Realm] in the Xiuxian Alliance. If you accept it, it means that you may be discovered by the people of the Moruo Realm at any time, and then... all living things on Earth may be completely destroyed."

Ning Ruirui suddenly understood something and said coldly, "So you are not trying to give us a good thing at all, but are trying to push a huge trouble onto Xia Tian."
